Answer:

y = \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = \frac{1}{3} when x = \frac{1}{2} , thus

\frac{1}{3} = \frac{k}{\frac{1}{2} } = 2k ( divide both sides by 2 )

k = \frac{1}{6}

y = \frac{1}{6x} ← equation of variation

When x = \frac{1}{4} , then

y = \frac{1}{6(\frac{1}{4}) } = \frac{1}{\frac{3}{2} } = \frac{2}{3}

. Three out of four students in school have at least one sibling. If there are 300 students in your school, how many would have
tekilochka [14]

Answer: 225 students would have at least one sibling.

Step-by-step explanation:

Three out of four is the same as  3/4 meaning that if there are 300 students in your school then 3/4 times 300 will give the number of students with at least one sibling.  

3/4 * 300 = 225  

This means 225 students would have at least one sibling.

Find the value of x for the following equivalent functions: f(x)=2x^2−3x+4 and f(x)=2x^2−1
masha68 [24]
A) y = 2x – 7  and f(x) = 7 – 2xIncorrect. These equations look similar but are not the same. The first has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of −7. The second function has a slope of −2 and a y-intercept of 7. It slopes in the opposite direction. They do not produce the same graph, so they are not the same function. The correct answer is f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5. B) 3x = y – 2  and f(x) = 3x – 2Incorrect. These equations represent two different functions. If you rewrite the first equation in terms of y, you’ll find the equation of the function is y = 3x + 2. The correct answer is f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5. C) f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5Correct. The expressions that follow f(x) = and y = are the same, so these are two different ways to write the same function: f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5. D) None of the aboveIncorrect. Look at the expressions that follow f(x) = and y =. If the expressions are the same, then the equations represent the same exact function. The correct answer is f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5.
